pests

walking around our circle last nite... stopped so the boy could run around in his 'jurassic park' tree area (looking for dino-poop and t-rex footprints). we're just standing there, when we saw some movement in a big oak tree... then 2 critters, cooing... baby raccoons. then, the wife started cooing back, and pretty soon, there were 4 lil things walking down the tree towards us. (and thankfully no sign of the mama). i walked back, got the camera for some pix... so, there you have it. left some water and peanuts, in case the mama has been trapped or ran over.
